Faith some more

News this week that Faith No More will release its first album in 18 years. Hmmm...of course I'll listen to that. They might even nail it - but they left behind a perfectly imperfect small victory of a back-catalogue. The only thing that's likely is that a new FNM album won't be all that good - and won't be at all necessary. Fingers crossed though eh. It's a Faith No More record with Mike Patton and he's shown he's still got it across so many projects/bands since (and during) his time with Faith No More.

And, yeah, I dig the Chuck Mosleystuff too. I bought those first two FNM albums only after hearing Patton singing We Care A Lotlive with the band - at that time I thought Faith No More started with The Real Thing - it was the song Epic that was my introduction. But those Mosley albums are great too. His singing-with-a-stroke vocals aren't anything like what Patton would do with the band but I can still go back and listen to those early albums.

What do you think about Faith No More making a new record? And what's your favourite album by this band? Do you worry that they'll ruin their discography with a new album 18 years on from their last recorded effort? Or do you say bring it on?
